Jeffrey Burch Assessment and Treatment Methods for Manual Therapists

About the book

This book shares a host of somatic practices that can readily be used in teaching, therapy, yoga practice and other avenues of personal exploration at the physical, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. One value of yoga therapy is its ability to bring us to our sensesfiguratively and literally. Inner body sensing and the knowing it evokes is a large part of how we become aware of what we need to attend to and work on in our growth as individuals. In Spanda (R) Yoga Movement Therapy-the yoga therapy method from which this work arises-embodiment practices are as vital to the process of self-understanding as they are to understanding anatomy, anatomical concepts, and physiological processes.

About the book

This beautifully illustrated book and DVD book illustrates the structure of the fascia in the living human being and provides an introduction to Dr Guimberteau’s groundbreaking work. Dr Guimberteau’s photographs provide a detailed account of fascial architecture. The accompanying text explains what the photographs mean, clarifies the importance of the fascia, and sets out the implications of these findings for everyday therapeutic practice. He is the first person to publish video “movies” showing the structure of the fascia and how the fascia responds to. Based on what can be seen he has developed his own concept of the multifibrillar structural organisation of the body, wherein the “microvacuole” is the basic functional unit.

About the book

The body is rich with symmetries, many of them unknown to us who live in these bodies. This book offers a guide through the overwhelming mass of data generated by contemporary science. Starved for the knowledge that would best help us stay healthy, we are simultaneously glutted with an overload of information about the human body. The book’s exploration will guide readers through the parts of their own bodies and introduce tangible, visible examples of symmetry, not only right and left but up and down, male and female, inside and out, as well as symmetries between humans and other species.

About the book

The emerging science of biotensegrity provides a fresh context for rethinking our understanding of human movement, but its complexities can be formidable. This second edition has full color illustrations throughout – explores and explains the concept of biotensegrity and provides an understanding and appreciation of anatomy and physiology in the light of the latest research findings.

The reader learns that biotensegrity is an evolving science which gives researchers, teachers, and practitioners across a wide range of specialisms, including bodyworkers and movement teachers, a deeper understanding of the structure and function of the human body.

March 2020 | Paperback | 192 pages

EAN/ISBN 9781912085507

About the book

Written by two leaders in the field of post-traumatic pain and recovery. Built upon the Assess, Predict, Treat framework, the authors offer a method to help clinicians better understand their patients’ pain. This book presents evidence-based decision tools to predict the natural and clinical course of common conditions such as neck and low back pain, and then synthesizes that information into a logical integrated treatment approach that respects the individuality of the patient, the experiences of the clinician, and the value of evidence-informed practice.

About the book

An authoritative and comprehensive account of the assessment and conservative management of temporomandibular disorders. Recent emphasis has been on ‘evidence-based practice’ at the expense of the clinical reality which should also take account of clinician expertise and patient preference. A sound research base is not always available. This text addresses the clinical reality of having to make decisions using other sources of knowledge in the absence of a comprehensive scientific rationale. It advocates clinical and evidence-informed practice - an approach which acknowledges the value of clinician experience and expertise as well as research findings.

The Fascial Distortion Model Philosophy, Principles and Clinical Applications

Jan 2021 | Paperback

256 pages | Approx. 600 color drawings and photographs

£45.00

EAN/ISBN 9781912085569

About the book

This highly illustrated and very practical text and manual covers in detail the theoretical framework of the model, and approaches to manual therapy treatment based on an understanding of the FDM. The authors systematically cover all disorders likely to be encountered by the therapist, and provide comprehensive guidance about when it is appropriate to use FDM and how best to employ these approaches in treatment.

The Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) was introduced by the American physician Stephen Typaldos (1957-2006). In this model all injuries and other conditions causing pain or disability are seen as arising from specific distortions of the connective tissue.

EAN/ISBN 9781909141346

About the book

Skilful palpation is the foundation stone of all effective manual therapy assessments and treatments. In this fourth edition of his now well-established and much loved book, Leon Chaitow has introduced references to the latest research findings relating to fascia and its role in health and disease, so that practitioners can apply this knowledge in interpreting what they palpate.

The ability to use subtle and sensitive touch to examine and assess patients is essential for an accurate interpretation of the underlying problems of fascial and muscle function. The accurate interpretation of palpatory findings is difficult and comes with experience. This book aims to increase awareness of how to palpate and understanding of what is being felt. In addition to the author, six notable contributors from Europe and North America enhance the work’s range and authority.

EAN/ISBN 9781909141865

This book provides a basic training on how to become aware of our physiological functioning and our sense of vitality. A part of this training comes from becoming hyper-aware of how we breathe.

About the book

Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984), the founder of the Feldenkrais Method®, built his Method around the concept of improving human functioning by increasing self-awareness through movement. The concept of neuroplasticity - the brain’s amazing capacity to change and adapt - was one of Feldenkrais’ basic tenets of how the brain organizes movement, and is now in our daily lexicon. Pain, illness and injuries all affect how our nervous system and brain react to events in us and around us. Feldenkrais’ thesis is that our nervous system always does the best it can with the information it has, and learning through the nervous system is the theme that runs through this book.

About the book

The word “embodied” is one of those terms, such as “grounded” or “centered” that can be discussed forever without being experienced. Defining embodiment, though, can be quite tricky, because much of what is taught in western societies about the body devalues the felt experience. Without the felt experience, embodiment is just another concept that can be discussed ad nauseum. The felt experience (or “phenomenology” in academicspeak) is the path away from these endless discussions and conceptual befuddlement. This book leads us through a series of connected experiences using mudras to feel our organs, the flows of our life force (Qi) and the flow of that life force through our meridians.

The Therapeutic Pause in Osteopathy and Manual Therapy

The Somatosensory Integration Time

Nov 2015 | Paperback

128 pages

£26.50

EAN/ISBN 9781909141360

About the book

This book is about understanding physiological principles underlying the pause between touch or manipulation and the sensory stimuli reaching the higher brain centres, in order to maximise the effectiveness of the therapeutic touch. Osteopathy, and Bowen therapy in particular, emphasises the importance of making therapeutic pauses during treatments. But it is not explained why a pause should be incorporated into the treatment session, just that it is important to do so.

This book is based on research which attempts to understand and identify the physiology that might justify the inclusion of pauses during treatment.

Motility in

Osteopathy

An Embryology Based Concept

April 2017 | Paperback

176 pages

£29.95

EAN/ISBN 9781909141667

About the book

Authors Alain Auberville and Andrée Aubin, both qualified physical therapists and osteopaths, present a simple and systemic definition of motility based on the movement of all the body’s structures during embryogenesis. Motility, relating to the vital energy of the human tissues, is a basic concept in osteopathy. Those initial movements, intrinsic to the energy of the tissues, are the essence of motility and, as such, they are crucial to the tissues’ normal movement. These fundamental ideas expand the osteopath’s clinical intervention techniques and deepen the understanding of both the bases of osteopathy and of human functions.

This book brings these two fields of thinking together.

About the book

“From Anatomy to Architecture, from Biomechanical to Biomotional and from Classical to Connected “- speaks to all bodies, in all modalities; in a world seeking unity and connection more than ever.

Classical Anatomy (in the West) divides the body down into its component parts and traditionally (unchanged for 400 years) reduces its functionality to those parts; usually described in a 2D iconic forms and founded in lever-based mechanics. In the East, such reductionism was never espoused and Yoga, Fascia, Anatomy and Movement covers two huge bases to bridge the difference and upgrade understanding of Yoga, to 21st Century anatomy.

About the book

This book is a guide to how and why yoga can be used as an adjunct treatment in mental health. Inherently, yoga is a system for improving mental health and alleviating suffering at the deepest levels. Yoga is a comprehensive mind-body practice that is particularly effective for self-regulation, mood management, fostering resilience, and promotion of wellbeing.

This practical, evidence-based guide provides a bridge between yoga therapy and health care. Contributed chapters explore various mental health conditions from a yoga and clinical perspective, exploring the use of yoga in therapeutic practice.

About the book

This book provides a unique evidence-based exploration into the complexities of human movement and what a safe, effective yoga practice entails. Most yoga teacher schools provide limited training in anatomy and biomechanics. In this book the emphasis is taken off flexibility and centered around a narrative of body tissue adaptation. Conventional approaches to modern yoga are examined through a biomechanist’s lens, highlighting emerging perspectives in both the rehabilitation and sport science literature.

Integrated Anatomy for Yoga

Sept 2021 | Paperback | 288 pages

£38.00

EAN/ISBN 9781912085033

About the book

Spiral Bound provides a unique, integrated approach to yoga anatomy by exploring the potential for yoga as a healing modality by examining the body’s anatomical structure as it has evolved embryonically. With a light touch approach, Karen weaves together threads of development to see how our morphological constraints arise in the earliest moments of life and how this rotation lays the spiral groundwork for rotational kinematics that encompass all tissue. This book sets out to link theory with practice, all at a conversational level richly illustrated with full-color photographs and drawings that bring the biomotion to life for practitioners and teachers of yoga.
